PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST.
Cory has officially started his journey to a new kidney. He put out a text this morning informing everyone of the new information regarding a "living kidney donor" hotline, where you are pre pre pre screened.
The number is as follows: 206 598 3627, here they will call you back within 2 business days to discuss your health and see if you are even elidgible to indeed be a match for Cory.
As Cory said in his text message; if the offer still stands and whomever was ready to offer up a kidney at the time he was admitted is still standing, willing and able, he would love everyone to call in and see if they are able to be a match for him. I think he said it best, "it would be my greatest blessing".
Now, I understand everyone is wanting to and I know he has friends and family from other states that would definitely take the time to come up and make things happen. I want to STRESS that this is a very serious surgery, it isn't an in and out type of situation and if you are out of state I would really consider the amount of time and energy it will take. He doesn't want anyone to lose a job or a home over this, his insurance does cover the person who is giving the kidney but the other information like follow up visits, and in the event that something was to happen in the future in regards to the kidney surgery, I don't know at this point if his insurance would cover the post op's. I just am going to be that person who just really states the obvious - because you want to help, you want to be the person to give Cory back his life but you HAVE to come into it with a full mind, considering all of the good and bad's - we all know you have an open heart but I just need your mind to be on the same level. (I think there are two people reading this who know who they are)
This couldn't come at a better time. I see Cory becoming more and more frustrated with leaving every other day and the strain of dialysis has definitely settled in. He still has not used his new fistula which is normal and he is just really trying to stay on his diet and stay positive in general. It's a trying time I think for everyone - the waiting game. I am unable to go today to the appointment so I will wait to check in with Cory and Erin about how the doctor's visit went. If you have ANY questions that you think would be helpful for Cory to ask to his doctor's today PLEASE send them to me or text them to him - I would love for everyone to do that, sometimes everyone has a different way of thinking and with our powers combined hopefully he can have the most successful visit he can.
He has been waiting for this day and I am so thankful for the support and kind words that continue to shower over him (and sometimes me too).
I hope everyone is well, much love to all
Praying for Cory's brother Gerald who is in Dallas, hoping he and his family continues to stay safe and sound.
Love Tessa
